cozy…

then I put all of those into a spinach clamshell, filled them with soil, and dropped a few seeds into each one… I also planted three of them with grape tomatoes…

watered each one and closed the clamshell…

now for the waiting game… and we won’t mention the snow that was falling as I wrote this, sigh…

hop…

not long ago I wrote about all the bunny tracks in the fresh snow and wondering if it was one busy bunny or many…

a few nights ago, as I was starting to get out of the hot tub – I was feeling a bit lonely without my recent companion – I watched four little bunnies shoot through the gate beside the hot tub, hop down the path and across to the far corner of the garden…

and then they raced around the garden, onto the deck and up and down the snowbanks before hopping past me a few more times…

they were having a blast and so was I;-)…

once I came in, I spotted another one out the front window on the front sidewalk…

what a treat;-)…

I took these pictures today…

it has been two and a half years since I last saw this girl in person…

and something like four years since she’s been home…

I am delighted and look forward to making the most of these next few days…

so far, we’ve eaten chocolate and macarons and I got the cutest tray from Paris with Monet’s NYMPHEAS (water lilies)… it was a lovely reminder of a wonderful visit the two of us had to a museum in New York…

more lazy days, tons of conversation, favourite foods, and walks outside are on the agenda;-)…

what a wonderful treat this is…

tossed all of the old flowers out today and reorganized a few pots…

moved one of the violets into the lovely head vase from my New Year’s Day bouquet…

and spotted some new blossoms…

that was a lovely treat…

house is tidy and ready for company;-)…

I am so happy…

over the last week more and more of my Google Home products have gone offline…

at first it was 2 tp- link plugs, then a switch, then more of the plugs and finally my Geeni cameras… made me crazy…

and then the printer stopped because it couldn’t find the wifi…

my grandson got the printer going… yay…

the suggestion was that I should delete and then add all of the products back in… I did not want to do that… my plan was to call my provider to see if there was an issue with my internet…

was waiting for another call so didn’t get around to contacting the provider…

just for fun, I went in and turned off my wifi and then turned it back on…

getting ready for bed, I went to turn one of the plugs off manually only to discover that its light was blue, not the orange that meant it wasn’t connected…

checked all the others and they were fine too…

yay 😀…

well, I am a happy camper…

the hot tub has needed a top-up for a number of weeks, but every time it has been warm enough, or not snowing, the lid has been frozen shut…

and the less water in it the more the jets run and more water evaporates…

today I was able to go out and open it… yay… it took nearly fifteen minutes to top it up so I was pleased to get it done…

I’m not exactly sure that I can open both covers enough to get in it, but at least it has enough water for awhile…

the extendable hose works perfectly… it runs up the stairs and out the door easily so the filling part is simple…

there is a lot of snow out there, lol…

I’ve been having trouble with my PVR for a few weeks…

it has been telling me that it was full and would delete things I hadn’t seen…

this has happened before and it had been difficult to get the problem sorted out so I wasn’t looking forward to calling them…

I waited until the Olympics were over because I didn’t want any problems while they were on… so that meant that every day I would have to stay up until I finished watching anything saved… made for some long nights…

I was pleasantly surprised with how well the interaction went… took about half an hour to get the process completed… the person on the phone was able to do most of the work from a distance, with me pushing a few buttons at my end…
